It may seem kind of strange that you would want to know
how to tap your own phone line. After all, aren’t phone
taps meant to be used on other people? However, there is a
definite advantage to having a tap on your own line, as long
as you are the one doing the tapping. The best thing you can
do, especially if you are fielding some pretty important or
incriminating phone calls, is to record them. You can use
them for bargaining, or you can use them as evidence that
someone is behaving inappropriately.
It is not too hard to learn how to tap your own phone
line using simple and relatively inexpensive items that can
be picked up from your local electronics store. You will
need one Ferrite split core assembly, 75 feet of 28 AWG
magnetic coil wire (enameled), one 1/8th inch mini-lug cable
(should have tinned ends), and make sure have heat shrink
tubing, tie wraps, and electrical tape.
One you have all of these items, it is time to begin
learning how to tap your own phone line. Open the core
assembly and wind the coil around the end that does not
open. There should be roughly 100 turns of coil. You should
leave a six inch tail sticking out before you start winding,
and then at the end, create a second six inch tail when you
clip the wire.
Use fine grit sand paper on the last half inch of the
coil wire to remove the enamel. You have to be careful not
to break the wire. Slip the tubing over each end of the wire
for insulation purposes. Then, solder the ends of the mini
phone plug to the coil wire. Use tie wraps to secure the
cable to the tap, and insulate solder joints with electrical
tape. Slip one (and one only) of the phone conductor circuit
through the split core. You can then attach the core to a
tape recorder to record all conversations that you wish.
This is a very simple way that you can create your own
effective phone tap quickly and inexpensively. Additionally,
you have the peace of mind that comes with being able to
record conversations because you know how to tap your own
phone line.
